Tosol is a brand of domestic antifreeze, designed in 1971, which began to be produced in Tolyatti during the USSR. There existed only 2 types of domestic antifreeze: Tosol-40 ( blue colour) And Tosol-65 (red).
Antifreezes are distinguished by additives included in it:
- Traditional antifreeze;
- Hybrid antifreeze G-11 (Hybrid, "Hybrid Coolants", Hoat (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology));
- Carboxylate antifreeze G-12, G-12 + ("Carboxylate COOLANTS", OAT (Organic Acid Technology));
- Ledok antifreeze G-12 ++, G-13 ("Lobrid Coolants" or "Soat Coolnts").
If you need to add coolant in Cheri Tiggo (T11), it is safe to mix antifreeze only one type, and not colors. Color is just a dye. Water (even distilled) into the radiator Chery Tiggo (T11) is prohibited, because in the heat at a temperature of 100 ° C boil water, scale is formed. In the frost, water will freeze, nozzles and radiator Cheri Tiggo (T11) will simply break.
Replace coolant on Chery Tiggo (T11) for several reasons:
- The term of antifreeze ends - the concentration of inhibitors in it decreases, the heat transfer decreases;
- Reduced the level of antifreeze from leaks - His level in the expansion tank Chery must remain constant. In this case, it can flow through looseness in compounds, or cracks in the radiator, nozzles.
- The level of antifreeze has decreased due to engine overheating - Antifreeze begins to boil, in the plug of the expansion tank Cery Tiggo cooling system (T11) opens safety valve, Resetting the antifreeze pairs into the atmosphere.
- Replacing parts of the cooling system Cheri Tiggo (T11) or engine repair;
Signs for which the state of spent antifreeze in Cheri Tiggo (T11) is determined:
- Results test strips;
- Measurement of antifreeze in Chery Tiggo (T11) refractometer or areometer;
- Changing the color shade: for example, there was green, rusty or yellow, as well as turbidity, fading;
- The presence of chips, chips, scale, foam.
Flushing Chery Tiggo cooling system (T11), before filling a new antifreeze, completely removes protective layer And the remains of the old antifreeze, this is necessary when switching from one type to another. For flushing the radiator, Chery Tiggo (T11) should be used by special safety, which is often diluted with water in accordance with the instructions. Finished washing poured into expansion tank Radiator Chery Tiggo (T11) with a muffled engine. It is definitely necessary to warm up to the operating temperature, to operate the thermostat and antifreeze began to circulate big circle cooling systems.
Then the engine is crushed, it is allowed to work at idle for 30 minutes. Merge washing fluid. The operation is repeated depending on the composition of the flowing fluid. The washing mixture can be used only in the first approach, in the subsequent - distilled water. The replacement time of antifreeze on Chery Tiggo (T11) is from half an hour, with washing - up to 1.5 hours.
You will need: cooling fluid, funnel, clean rag.
Note
The manufacturer recommends applying a coolant (antifreeze) based on ethylene glycol.
Do not mix the liquids of different colors and different manufacturers. If you need to add cooling fluid, but you do not know the brand flooded into the liquid system, replace the entire fluid in the cooling system. Apply products only verified manufacturers. Remember that the use of low-quality coolant leads to expensive engine repair! Before starting work, install the car on a flat surface.
Warnings
Check the coolant level only on the cold engine. Cooling fluid is toxic, so when working with it, observe precautions.
Do not pour the liquid into the tank above the MAX label, because when the engine is running, its volume will increase.
When starting the engine, the plug of the expansion tank must be tightly closed.
Useful advice
Constantly monitor the coolant level. Its sharp decline or an increase should be a signal to immediately check the engine cooling system.
If the fresh antifreeze suddenly suddenly quickly changed the color on the brown, you were sold to a fake, which "forgot" add corrosion inhibitors. As soon as possible, replace the liquid until it has time to drive the cooling system.
The expansion tank is installed in open space on the right side.
1. The coolant level should be between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks deposited on the wall of the expansion tank
2. To pull the liquid, remove the plug of the expansion tank ...
Notes
If the expansion tank is completely empty, remove the radiator stopper by turning it 90 ° counterclockwise, and add fluid into the radiator to the edge of its neck. Then close the cork radiator and decrease the fluid into the expansion tank to the required level.
4. Close the plug of the expansion tank.

According to the manufacturer's recommendations of this compact crossoverThe cooling fluid is subject to replacement after 10 thousand km of run or the year of operation - depending on what will come before. But the coolant level is recommended at no less often than once a week: it will not be at all necessary to fall in the process of natural evaporation. Emergency leaks are possible, which needs to be recognized in a timely manner, otherwise you will have to buy expensive spare parts Cherie Tigo. Today we will tell you how to change the cooling fluid on Chery Tiggo in garage conditionswithout resorting to help service services. 
When replacing the coolant, it should be remembered for its toxicity and accuracy when working with it. Avoid getting into open areas of the skin, if it still fell - be sure to rinse, drain the liquid is neatly, in the cooked container and avoid its entry into the ground. And all work with the coolant spend only on the cold engine.
In the car Chery Tiggo, it is recommended to use cooling fluids based on ethylene glycol, which are easier called antifreeze. At the same time, the color of antifreeze does not play absolutely no meaning: different colour Speaks only about different dyes. And if you are going to change the liquid, then you need to pay attention not to E color, but on the type (composition), which should strictly comply with the recommended manufacturer. 
The concentration of ethylene glycol in the coolant depends on the climatic zone in which the car is used - to avoid freezing the coolant in the cooling system in winter: The higher the concentration - the lower the freezing temperature. But, at the same time, it is extremely not recommended to use 100% ethylene glycol: it contains anti-corrosion additives, to dissolve which water is necessarily needed. If it is not - additives will fall in the cooling system in the form of deposits, which will not improve, and worsen its ability to remove heat and can entail the engine overheating to 149 degrees (the booster temperature of ethylene glycols is much higher than that of the water).
To obtain the solution of the desired concentration (the proportions are usually indicated by manufacturers of coolants on a bottle package), use only distilled water.
Now, in fact, to replace the coolant. You need to stock up with a container for the drain of old antifreeze (better - about 10 liters), a piece of hoses of a suitable diameter (for a drain pipe on the radiator) and a new antifreeze. Work is better on a flat surface.
- Remove the plug, Turning it counterclockwise.
- Open the expansion tank,by reloading it to the lid.
- Open on the drain crane radiator, Substiving under it a pre-tank for spent antifreeze. To perform work carefully, a small piece suitable for the hose diameter can be apparently on the tap fitting. The crane itself is in the lower part of the radiator, from its inner side to the left (in the photo - view of removed radiator From the side facing the engine).
- Tighten the crane after plum.
- If a expansion Bachek dirty and depositsIt can be removed and washed. After that, to install in place and pour the liquid for washing the cooling system (distilled water can be used) through the neck of the radiator to the level of the steaming tube: you need to rinse both the system itself and the Cherie Tiga radiator.
- Get the engine and give the engine to warm upbefore the cooling fan is triggered, then drown out the motor, let it cool and drain the water.
- If the water from the system broke out dirty,the washing procedure should be repeated. After that, fill the prepared coolant through the radiator, and without closing its cover, start the engine.
- As heated, air will be out of the system, And the level of coolant will fall. Tighten the level in the process of warming up to the norm until the air from the system ceases to go out. Usually, at the stage of filling in the system, the fan will have time to turn on 5-6 times.
- After the air stopped out, turn the radiator cork, and drop to the maximum value of the coolant in the expansion tank. After that, get the engine, let it warm up, stop and wait for cooling.
- After the engine cools, Check the level of the coolant and addition to the maximum value.
In the process of heating the engine, attention should be paid to the temperature of the coolant (on the index of the instrument panel) and the timely response of the fan. 
If the temperature reached the maximum, and the fan does not give signs of life, you need to find out the reason. To do this, turn on the stove in the cabin and check the air temperature it serves. If the air is heated, then the fan does not work. If the air is cold - a plug formed in the cooling system. Open the radiator cover, allow the engine to work 3-5 minutes and close the lid. And so that the air from the system is better, it should be pressed regularly during the warm-up radiator when the radiator hoses should be pressed to drive out air traffic jams.
After a few days of operation, after replacing the coolant in the system, check again. If necessary, a frace. Also pay attention to the color of the coolant. If the fluid sharply discouraged - it means that the usual blue was used for the tint, and you became the owner of a non-high-quality coolant, from which you need to get rid of it. Similarly, the liquid is not high quality, if a brown shade has acquired a brown tint after a short period of time. This suggests that the manufacturer most likely "forgot" add anti-corrosion additives to it, and such a liquid should be urgently changed. And high-quality coolant practically does not change its color - only a bit dark in the process of long-term operation.
